Can you still buy twin carb elbow rubber gaskets in Adelaide?

Hi Adelaide Alfa Boxer drivers!
Just wondering if you can you still buy the twin carb elbow rubber gaskets in Adelaide?
You know the ones that fit between the airbox and the alloy elbows.

It's just that I've been told they don't make them anymore, but if I listened to advice like that I wouldn't still be running my Sud, so you never know!

Cheers

No problem about that. You can make yourself from bicycles tubes or tyres , you just have to cut the right size.....

Wreckers my friend. I had a few of those spare, but they recently went to the tip because I no longer have a carb'd alfa!

They are pretty easy to make though, I got some rubber/foam strips from bunnings to make do till I found the proper item. As long as you have clamps you should be right.


The clamps are a little harder to universally source.
